<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here on J House Tawk I have yet to post a 'home tour'. At the moment I'm trying to get some of my house in order to take some pictures of my favorite spaces of my home!.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Of course, there are MANY spaces that have yet to be 'photo' worthy!!}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have done a TON of projects also, but haven't had the time nor energy to take pictures, edit them, and upload them... UGH.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a 3 year old and a 1 year old it is HARD! I know 3/4 of y'all can agree!! There's always that one person who makes the rest of us feel less-motivated! They are what I call *Super MOM*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is NOT me.. ;)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So bare with me, new crafts will be a-coming.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't wait to share them ALL!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It's been about a year since my last post, right?... Nahhhh, maybe not quite that long, but close :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have a whole bunch of posts I could share at this point, but I'll start with one that I know I have pictures of and such.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This post I will share a project I did using that drawer from the antique buffet I redid and am currently using as a TV console! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJbpnK3pmrTSjclvauFlh9Oj2AAqNFcuZo4kilfu547VKBGuSAILqxxBhu9IHP7euxZ3EEvOUleN7QMUASZ5CZtmvRKAUJmODrHL4I5slI5TGRTDxf1y4LwWhm-rbH2J2WRRBSYyQPKI/s1600/beforedrawer.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAJbpnK3pmrTSjclvauFlh9Oj2AAqNFcuZo4kilfu547VKBGuSAILqxxBhu9IHP7euxZ3EEvOUleN7QMUASZ5CZtmvRKAUJmODrHL4I5slI5TGRTDxf1y4LwWhm-rbH2J2WRRBSYyQPKI/s1600/beforedrawer.jpg" height="425" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I saved the face of the drawer hoping to find another project I could do with it. Cause I'm into old stuff and hoarding like that ya know?! .. Ya.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I patched up the holes from the previous hardware and painted her a yellow. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I glazed her with a homemade mixture of glaze and black paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I added some new hardware from none other than Hobby Lobby! .. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3.99$ and bought them when they were 50% off! . So I only paid 1.99$.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the outcome and I'm loving it.</div>

This has been a post I've been DREAMING about posting for almost a year now!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I purchased an antique buffet for $50.00 almost a year ago and have been wanting to turn it into our family room's new t.v. console!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well.. this has finally happened! .. With a 3 month old and a 2 year old, it was a little hard to find the time to finish it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I can't wait to reveal these pictures. . The before and after will shock you! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First thing I did was sand the top of the stand and with a cloth I applied a dark walnut stain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After that dried, I did two coats of polyurethane.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I painted this with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in the color OLD WHITE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is very pricey stuff, buttttt... I'm ALL about the no-prep. work required before painting..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yep.. NO sanding, NO priming.. SOLD!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After two coats of paint, I lightly sanded to give it a distressed finish.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added a coat of ANNIE SLOAN WAX. in clear.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just applied mine with a white old rag. .. I am much too cheap right now to purchase a wax brush. :(</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took out the bottom drawer so I could fit my tv stuff under there!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love the unique-ness of the drawer, but this way it looks more like a tv stand. Plus, it was not in the best of shape any ole how.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also bought new knobs from HobbyLobby. for $1.49 each on sale!</div>

When we bought our house 4 years back, we also inherited a little wooden yellow stool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's face it, when you're short like me, you can use any help you can get! .. So I decided to keep this little eye sore.. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have just gotten around to getting the idea of redoing it so I can just use it as decor as well as a helpful boost to my height.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Steps:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1.) I sanded the top completely and the side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2.) Lightly sand the underside of the stool and the legs as best I could.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3.) I stained the top and side with MinWax Dark Walnut Stain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.) After that dried a bit, I flipped the stool over and gave it 2 coats of ASCP in Old White (I chose to use chalk paint because I didn't have any primer on hand & with chalk paint you do not need to sand or prime or do any kind of prep work... My kinda DIY!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5.) Poly'd the stain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6.) Lightly sanded and then used Annie Sloan Clear Wax on the underside and legs.</div>

About a year ago my husband's grandparents had given us this antique rocking horse.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love it, however it needed some major updating.. the yarn hair was yucky, it was all marked up, and the little sticker embellishment had to leave! ... :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I FINALLY have gotten around to re*sanding this baby and re*staining.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After re-staining it like 5 times, I gave up on the whole wooden look.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stain was just not cooperating!!.. It was so uneven I was getting so frustrated!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I took a trip to JoAnn's and bought some primer with a 40% off coupon.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and scored 2 Rustoleum 'Summer Squash' spray cans for (you ready for this?!...) $1.97!!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was happier than a kid in a candy store.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Afterwards, I applied 2 coats of poly.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just used all the original hardware.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also used the same eyeballs and didn't do anything to the handle.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
& crochet'd a whole new mane and tail.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made a loop in the mane so the handle wouldn't be covered with it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tail was crochet'd using a curlicue scarf tutorial.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They were then applied with a hot glue gun.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i>::::</i></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jayden is the name of my first born so I painted on his name on one side of the horse.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jensen is going to be the name of this July baby whether it's a boy or a girl so I painted that name on the other side of the horse!</div>

This is such a SIMPLE & EASY wreath!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>{time consuming, but worth it}</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>IF YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE, KEEP READING! :)</b><br />
<b>*</b><br />
<b>*</b><br />
<b>*</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What you will need for this project is:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Embroidery Hoop</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Box wood greenery</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Light gauge jewelry wire</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

1.) First start by removing the boxwood from the stems so you have just a whole bunch of pieces.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2.) Take each piece one by one and start by putting each of them between the hoop circles (?? Don't know if I'm explaining this right.. ) Making sure NOT to have the loop too loose or they won't stay put.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://cdn1.stuff4crossstitch.com/catalog/product/cache/8/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/7/070843_3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn1.stuff4crossstitch.com/catalog/product/cache/8/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/0/7/070843_3.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
3.) Once you have your loop full to the point where it will not hold any more boxwood.<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4.) You don't really need to add any to the inside walls of the wreath, because you cannot really see the hoop, but I added some the way around it on the outside.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5.) First I wired a couple pieces to the hoop where the tightening screw is to hide it from showing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took one long piece of wire and strung together some leftover pieces and wrapped it around the hoop and tied the ends together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I had this piece of canvas art I got for a $1.00 at Gabriel Brothers a while back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided I didn't like the picture that was already on it, so I was trying to come up with some ways to use it as a DIY project...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I thought about using it to transfer a photo onto like you see all over pinterest, but I didn't want to end up with a 'Pintrosity' so I decided not to do that one.. lol</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First, I ran the canvas under water until eventually the paint from the picture came off (as you can see in the second picture.)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I searched all over pinterest of what I could do with it..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In comes the herringbone print. I found a whole bunch of them on Pinterest, but the one that really caught my eye wasn't actually a DIY... It was an actual print that you could purchase from a website. My computer wont let me download the picture so sorry about that..</div>

First I got out some paint colors that would go perfectly in my master bedroom:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-gray</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-yellow</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-gold</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-dark green</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-& a muted greenish color</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
After painting in different strokes and whatnot until I got the desired look.. this is what I was left with!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First I tried using 'froggy tape' to use, but the tape just was not cooperating with me! .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then decided to use electrical tape.. (it stuck so well to canvas!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the tape in 4 inch strips.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started from one corner and just worked from there, sticking the tape in a herringbone design..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just kind of eyeballed the spaces between the tape and it came together really well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I was done, I took some strips off to give it more of a unique look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then spray painted over it with white.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGy4yQIGZuvNSgHY3ioFFDY9fMVRmgdFmMEI6_VdFL1wexFfcQd445L1nSq3Um_-XhG873s3K8MGkmkWH1hNj-e7YA4nyXTcL-LTzpF1tR_bYYdqUqCNPhOnTxgC6DrZ24LkfI4RneYMq4/s1600/canvas6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGy4yQIGZuvNSgHY3ioFFDY9fMVRmgdFmMEI6_VdFL1wexFfcQd445L1nSq3Um_-XhG873s3K8MGkmkWH1hNj-e7YA4nyXTcL-LTzpF1tR_bYYdqUqCNPhOnTxgC6DrZ24LkfI4RneYMq4/s640/canvas6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now is the fun part... start peeling the strips off and marvel at your masterpiece! ..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out! and it matches the master bedroom great!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few more finished pictures:</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">The Leibster Award is basically a supportive award that is given to new bloggers. I am a new blogger and I obviously need some blogging support, so hello, Leibster Award!! Haha!</span></div>

<strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"></span></strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><i></i>I don't really have a specific time of day that I devote to blogging. I have gotten really lazy with blogging lately that I have worked on crafts, but just gotten lazy with taking progress pictures and actually getting them uploaded to the computer so I can edit them and have them for blogging. I'm not even blaming the absence of blogging on spending my time taking care of a toddler or upkeeping with a home and being a wife.. Just plain LAZY lately.. bahahaaha.. </span></div>

I don't know if it's just me being in the 'nesting' mode or not, but I've been on an organizing and cleaning kick..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought that came later in the pregnancy! (..currently 27 weeks along)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I recently switched up my 'fall/winter' bedding/pillows.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed the look to a more brighter, springy/summery look-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A very colorful quilt my husband's grandmother gave us,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and my 2 yellow DIY pillows from my 'Bedroom Makeover' reveal post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided that it still needed more color and texture to the whole look.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided to remove the other pillows from the fall/winter bedding and put them away for the next time and sew up some spring cases.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found an old light blue fitted sheet in the extra bedding storage that did not fit any of the beds in this house (weird..) It was the perfect shade of blue. It would look perfect. Plus, I wasn't spending any extra cash on a good DIY project!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A while back I pinned a tutorial from <a href="http://www.thehouseofsmiths.com/" target="_blank">The House of Smiths</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this pleated pillow, </div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pretty much followed her technique, it was very easy to follow along with (Thank Gosh 'cause I am not a pro at sewing.. I barely know how to sew a straight line!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it ended up taking me a few hours to actually complete two pillows--My dang sewing machine kept acting up, ughhh .. The bobbin wasn't cooperating with me AT ALL.. it was 'sew' frustrating!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This could have easily been done in an hour and a half..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
FINALLLLY, after much patience I was very pleased with how they turned out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was going to add a couple cute flowers on mine like 'H.O.S.', but I was bored with the whole pillow sewing by the end of it and I was too irritated with the sewing machine. I think I like them plain better, the quilt adds enough commotion..<br />

For the other bloggers who've asked me if I was going to sell my baseboard/trim signs on Etsy and are still interested in purchasing one, you will be able to do so soon! .. I am in the process of making two more. Different sayings, but with more 'fancier' trim/baseboard! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So stay tuned to my blog, I'll be letting you know when they are done, and will be posting some pictures of them :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well now is your chance to buy it! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only have this one on there at the moment, but I plan to see how fast this one sells and then go from there. I am also planning on selling some crocheted baby beanies on there as well, but not at the moment. </div>

I am currently in the middle of a million things lately!!..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... a pregnancy with my 2nd.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... getting the 'big boy' room done so the nursery can be used for baby.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... putting a bathroom in down in the basement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... redoing the upstairs bathroom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... reading up.. and re-reading up toys, toys, and more toys... all.day.long..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... planning on upcoming projects (which CAN wait, but if you know me, they are my life!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
... crocheting my little heart out!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I repainted the 'blue' stripes in 'J''s big boy room to black.. For some reason I have a fascination with black stripes! .. I will post a picture on my Instagram, jordnnnchl</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I have been such a slacker later when it comes to posting on here anymore.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I have crafted here and there, but haven't really taken 'pictures' of the process and such, but I have a few before and afters to show off today.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
As some of you may know, I am currently 20 weeks preggo.. and still fighting nausea, sleepiness, and (like you care to know) constipation.. blahhh</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I have been also chasing around my non-stop 19 month old around the house.. He has graduated to the toddler bed, so now his naps are spare, which means my crafting is as well! :(</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
I have been cleaning out and redoing the spare room for 'J''s new big boy room and working on stuff to get it ready for decorating! I have a few big plans I'd like to do before baby comes.</div>

Before: .. I purchased this 'JOY' sign at a store called Gabriel Brothers. They sell a lot of different things for less than what you'd buy it for in the regular stores, still all brand new stuff.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE their home decor section.. They sell A LOT of chic decor signs, and primitive things.. This was $24.99.. After seeing it on the wall for a few months like this it was just hard to read and too dark for the walls... So in comes Annie Sloan to the rescue, again...</div>

Hi all (:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You ever see those ahhh-mazing grain sacks made into pillows?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I adore them! The downside to grain sacks though, is that I haven't found them cheap anywhere.. I decided to make my own. Well, sort of.. Mine are made from Rugs.. Yes, rugs.</div>

All you need is light weight rugs (material thin enough to use on a sewing machine).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Wash and dry them* if they were already in use like mine were :) and iron them cause they are likely to be wrinkly.</div>

I lucked out where my rug was the perfect length I needed for my rugs so all I needed to do was cut off the fringe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I folded the rug in half and sewed the bottom together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was wider than I needed so I just sewed a straight line about an inch into the pillow case.</div>

I turned my pillow case inside out.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It looks just like a regular pillowcase here in the pic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I still needed to sew the other side.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I left enough material on the other end so that I could flip in the ends and hand sew that side shut.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't leave an opening on the pillows to be able to remove them simply because I was too lazy and I figured I could just toss the whole pillow into the washer and dryer and they'd be fine.</div>

Happy Thursday!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a little end table post to show you today that I painted with my Annie Sloan OLD WHITE Chalk paint and soft wax!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will talk about how I did it and how I like the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Here is the little chippy end table all in her glory..</b></div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have a pretty big living room with a large sectional, but only one matching end table with my coffee table.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had this little guy in my kitchen, serving as nothing more than a place to pile junk mail, & misc. stuff.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I got my ASCP in the mail the other day, I had it in mind to do my antique buffet in, but I thought about it and figured I'd better start small.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So after looking at my living room I figured it'd work great as a side table for the hubby's end of the couch ;)</div>

Here is a more close up picture.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry the pictures are not the greatest..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually have a great camera, I just suck at editing and getting great light... any suggestions?! lol</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what my little table looked like before.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It started as a pale yellow table.. and was the very first piece of furniture I ever painted! lol..</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it was one of the first 3 blog posts I ever did.. HA</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways.. I started painting immediately with the ASCP, without doing anything except wiping it off with a rag.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I only did one coat, wanting more of a distressed & sloppy look.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It dries almost instantly! .. I swear 5 minutes tops .. Amazing stuff.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And even better, you can't even smell it that much.. seriously, it's like practically organic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwH6PCKUJgMUWSOo06w6EfThKmgryvn5_glr-Yg_ABD_nrFUOV6H3ptYmWvmqB2Am-Q7q9mMWJ4K_gL8myv6hGmLGishLsYYW1vZzPW_2Bma1fCnXz2G5kVZRV-DcjmGoe1pFyjW0-2wCk/s1600/endtable5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwH6PCKUJgMUWSOo06w6EfThKmgryvn5_glr-Yg_ABD_nrFUOV6H3ptYmWvmqB2Am-Q7q9mMWJ4K_gL8myv6hGmLGishLsYYW1vZzPW_2Bma1fCnXz2G5kVZRV-DcjmGoe1pFyjW0-2wCk/s640/endtable5.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then started waxing it. Working with only an ordinary brush. I'm too cheap yet to spend $35 on a wax brush. I know people say you can't put a price on something THAT great at applying wax, but it's just not in the budget right now. Maybe after I get my Etsy Shop going! ? :)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am pregnant right now so my nose is very sensitive, so to me this wax was pretty fumey!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put the lid back on and took it out to the garage to work on it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I continued to wax.. I worked a little bit at a time, wiping & buffing after applying... ( I know people say to wax and let sit overnight, but I was going off another blogger and this is how she does it.. and it worked fine.. the wax didn't all come off.) .. I let it sit out in the garage for a few hours and then brought it in to the living room to its new home spot.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
VERY VERY LITTLE wax goes a long way! . . Do not glob up your brush with wax and just start going to town. It's smooth (like crisco, really) and it brushes on great. I've heard you could just use an old rag as well, but I used a brush for this piece)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After applying, I sanded to distress. Distressing, in my opinion is a lot more convenient.. That way you do not have a pile of dust from sanding before you wax..</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm not really sure you can mess this up in any way, other than if you use too much wax.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The chalk paint is very easy to work with and dries instantly.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wax is not too fumey and from what I've heard and read, it's a lot better to breath in than other top coats like poly and minwax wax paste.. I don't know though, I've never used them.. Just going off of research.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I like how the stuff is what they say, "Almost Organic" on the Annie Sloan website video.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have yet to try making my own chalk paint, but I know a couple recipes to make it and I'm sure I'll try it on a piece some day or another.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But all in all, I really liked my experience with the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. It's great, the price of it is a turn off, but I think it's worth it!</div>
